Is this a fake Wilkinson's sword brush?

I've never seen this brush online or on any thread around here, and it suddenly - exactly 2 - popped up on the shelf in the shaving aisle in a nearby corner store

It says Made in China so perhaps they switched the manufacturer.

The common triangle form brush is made by NOM Germany and branded Wilkinson

nom | made in germany

Formschön, funktional, fair im Preis – die Rasierpinsel der Marke nom liegen gut in der Hand, kosten nicht die Welt und halten, halten, halten. Jetzt bei dergepflegtemann.de bestellen

Maybe the fake will be an improvement.

Either way, put it back, walk away and buy something else.

It looks like a badly copied Omega Synth.

I doubt it's legally using the Wilkinson Sword brand. Searching the barcode on the box brings up listings for totally different generic brushes, and the listing say you might get a completely different brush again than pictured.
Talking about knock offs, how about an "Omeca"? I've seen these in the wild a few times but never had the guts to try them out, I think they're synthetic despite the setola marking.

If there's a buck to be made, it will be copied.

100% fake. I have seen them here even in a supermarket 2 years ago. Quickly disappeared.

Definitely fakes. Even the “Made in china” is mistyped.

Yes, the lower case c always amused me
